My favourite tools
I have found the following tools being real productivity enhancers: XDesk (Virtual Desktop Manager (that WORKS!)) ClipX (Clipboard Manager) AutoHotkey (Windows Automation Tool) Launchy (Keystroke Launcher) NotePad++ (Lightweight Programmer's Text Editor) Evernote (Multi-platform notebook) Resharper (Visual Studio Add-In) For example, with AutoHotkey, I have made the following script: ^F1::Send {Control Down}{End}{Shift Down}i{Shift Up}{Control Up}Sub Page_Load({Esc} The script makes it so CTRL+F1 automatically finds the PAGE_LOAD-function in a Visual Basic 8 ASP.NET code-behind page. Very practical. I seldom have a use for ClipX, but since has a virtually non-existent footprint, i have it running at all times. If you ever need to copy more than one thing onto the clipboard, it's invaluable. XDesk took some configuration to be good (all GUI stuff), but once done, it's amazing. It's hard to explain what's so good about it, but I have found that it works fla
